Can this be used with a heated hose (cold weather) or will it defeat it's purpose?

No, the filter can still be used with a heated hose. I would just be sure that all connections have some type of insulation around them to keep the water from freezing.

I don't know and the manufacturer's answer is not clear to me. "No, the filter can still be used with a heated hose." I think it would depend upon where your water inlet is located and with insulation around fittings and filter.

Its a heater. It will add warmth. Hydraulics should work in cold conditions. If you are in extreme cold (-10 and below) you might want to consider an oil with a lower pour temperature as you can't use the heater on the road.

It's most effective if insulation is applied over the cable wrapped pipe. These heating tapes really don't get very warm because of the low wattage ( good) so applying insulation is needed in cold conditions. Fiberglass or closed cell foam can be used as insulation. If you use fiberglass you need to keep it dry. To keep everything in place I like to use a self-bonding silicone rubber "tape" because it's not bothered by cold or heat. This stuff is available as "emergency repair tape" at most auto parts stores. Otherwise, you can use conventional tape or even string, cable ties etc. Also, pay attention to keeping the heating tape firmly against the pipe for best heat transfer.

The hose is pretty flexible in houston cold weather. The material is good and the product is well made.

If you're winterizing a motor home, you may be considering wrapping pipes in the Freeze Cable. This is used to connect the cable to AC. I have several, connected to different legs of my pipe wraps, and they work like a champ.

I've never used it as a heater, but it can be. According to the manual, the exhaust hoses have to be connected to the outside when using it as a heater.

It stays flexible even when it is cold, I don't have mine on a hose reel, but I think it should work.

Not sure exactly what you are asking but it works very well for me in my application to heat the service bay compartment in my motor-coach. It will keep the water pipes from freezing in cold weather.

Mine won't because I have mine run through an uninsulated, unprotected water hose - I expect that if water can reach the Lixit it will work just fine. My guess is that unless you have a heated exterior faucet or live in a part of the country that stays below freezing most of the winter, this will be more of a warm weather / warm day solution.

I bought this specifically for use with hot water around 180 degrees. Hot water may damage regular garden hoses (or maybe not) but I wanted to play it safe.

I used it in a crawl space for an outside spigot. But I don't see why it couldn't be used on a hot as well.

I am sure you could. it is still winter here in New York so I have not used it yet. But they are just hoses. Get the hose quick disconnect system and you can connect quicker.

This hose is not rated for hot water use. However it can certainly be used in normal ambient air temperatures.

Does not matter. I use regular water from my outside hose at existing temperature and it works fine. Great product that I use in between my quarterly bug service and it has solved my problem .

Sounds like you're assuming that heat tape somehow is physically connected to the piping. If so, that's not true. You simply wind it fairly tightly around the pipe(s) to be protected. So if your heat tape is lobg enough there's no problem using it on hot and cold pipes.

Is rated for 160 psi and 200 degrees F, I used with my pump at 60 psi and I have no problem. Also in winter work good, my pump was freezed and no leaks with this hose. By the way they sale it in Home depot.

With the right brass I imagine you can make it work. Just remember there is a minimum pressure in, and the water out is pretty hot so i wouldn't use a cheap hose. Something of a wash machine grade hose will do it. This is my personal (not professional/qualified technician) opinion. Good luck. By the way, since its installation it has worked like a dream. It is installed on an outside wall in an airy patio. Last week we had an avg. of 28 F degree night for 5 days and it fired right up without any freeze issue. The one it replaced froze daily if the weather dropped below 32F. Good luck.
